I bought another samurai

[1300zuk]

I bought a samurai to make with the non rusty bits of my current samurai.

[Arthur Dent]

Nice. Pics?

[1300zuk]

[Arthur Dent]

Wow - that one looks to be in really nice shape. Nice score. Plus you'll have big stash of parts as left overs.

[Talon]

With both of them, now you're in the triple digit horsepower! HA!

Looks clean, that's for sure.

[1300zuk]

It has no engine in it, I'm trying to find a 1.6 on the cheap for it.

I'm really leaning toward Toyota axles and a 1.6 dohc engine, but we will see.

[ryguy79]

haha awesome

[1300zuk]

It's just now getting cold here and I don't have heat in my garage so it's probably going to be a standstill for a while.

But I did begin the tear down

[thewalrus]

So... wait. You're going to have two functional Samurais after this? I thought this was just a donor car.

That's fantastic.

[1300zuk]

No, I'm only going to have one when done.

Basically my samurai is the parts vehicle for the new one.

[1300zuk]

So my original one is just a frame right now, bought a 1.6 16valve engine for the new one.

Still trying to figure out what tire size I want to run so I can figure out the suspension.

[Swerve]

That's cool.

[1300zuk]

I'm ready to put the engine in, maybe tomorrow, maybe this weekend

[Arthur Dent]

Is it in? Does it run? Inquiring minds want to know!

[1300zuk]

It's in, it runs and drives.

Just need to get shocks and shock mounts, exhaust, radiator fan, build my axles, and fix my steering.

[1300zuk]

[Swerve]

Zuk, what are your thoughts on the early 90s Pathfinder with the 3.0 V6?

[Swerve]

And the Samurai looks good!

I don't like nissans

I worked for them for a while and they left a bad taste in my mouth.

Should have told them to eat more pineapple.
